Here we see your tender side. Your family being scattered and fragmented is something I can relate to. Fine work, my friend.

Thanks, Sam. I was wondering when I would run into you. I’m not surprised it’s here. Take it while you can get it, though. I’m afraid there’s not a lot of tenderness I can share. I have some mayhem, but I try to keep that under wraps. I’ll let it out to play sometimes, though.

Well, that was different! Although the AI voice does a decent job, it doesn’t measure up to the real Flatdaddy extraordinaire. I swear you belong in 1950’s and early 60’s Greenwich village.

Well, if I had done that, I’d be dead now, Sam, Thanks a lot, old buddy! 🙂
But damn it, it sure would have been worth it! Can you imagine how it would have felt performing with those guys? I became friends with Vince Balestri, who toured a one man show as Kerouac across the US for many years. He did the show here at Chicago House (now defunct) in the Austin 6th street entertainment district. I handled his PR, created posters and stuff for the show, etc. It was continuously sold out and was held over twice. He then played Kerouac in a movie called, I think, “Beat Angel,” to excellent reviews. Copies are hard to find — and I don’t have one. But he was a terrific guy and really lived the part.

Read MoreThe Real Lady I would love to call Mary Magdalene and ask her to lunch to discuss what it was like back then to know Jesus to know redemption to be a woman of earthen means naked to the lust of those same sketchy gentlemen who judged her Wondering why...

Mary Magdalene has always felt to me like Jesus, most loyal follower. Even if she wasn’t at the Last Supper, I can imagine her being the one who set the table and prepared the meal. She feels like an everywoman – someone who carries the judgment and misunderstanding that so many women have faced, whether for past mistakes, perceived flaws, or simply for not fitting society’s expectations.
I don’t believe she was a prostitute. I think she was a strong, capable woman who may have simply been ahead of her time. People judged her and labeled her unfairly, but Jesus saw her for who she truly was – a good and faithful person. And really, that’s what all of us should strive to be. Great write, j

Thank you….I don’t believe it either…but people get labeled…and usually by ones who have no room to do that if they look in their own closets for skeletons.

Powerfully penned, Jacob. Not to mention she penned a gospel that was left out of the Bible, of course it was. A lot of sexist men in power, who never wanted women to be treated equally. Just my opinion. lol. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

Well said, my friend. How can we possibly know those buried under thousands of years of dust, when we do not know those who live among us, friends we see and hear, and touch, who share our very houses, not even those who stare blankly back from mirrors?

What an enigmatic poem for an enigmatic figure. Perhaps it shall unravel the collective misunderstanding of the centuries and provide a new light for her.

Hello Crims!
I like the old-timey vibe of this. I wish there was more along this type actually. It just seems to set a nice tone when reading. Like those before us perhaps. At any rate, this is a wonderful poem that you’ve presented for us.-

Hey crimson!
The last line is a dark but beautiful visual. It gives me a Celtic vibe.
It starts off with wonderful bits of love then changes tone.
I love the word pairing of sweeping crimson. It’s like a red wave of devotion.Love your stuff chica:)
